The grand finale of the old TV's bad attitude happened Sunday night, while trying to watch the Grammy's. The DVD player stopped doing its silly thing of randomly going in and out. But the volume wouldn't hold —going from 24 down to zero, all by itself. So Ken, during the last fifteen minutes, sat on the floor a foot from the TV adjusting the volume by hand (since the remote was not functioning at all) so we could watch sweet Taylor Swift receive the award for Best Album of the Year. But the TV wasn't finished with its shenanigans. While Ken was sitting on the floor adjusting the sound as needed, the TV would (again, on its own) switch to "Video" causing the screen to turn blue, at which time Ken would have to totally turn the TV off, turn it back on, and resume adjusting the volume.
The television with an attitude has been replaced with a beautiful brand new high definition television, thanks to Jen and PD. PD asked us to meet him on Monday at 10:30 a.m. and we all went to Sears and found this beauty that fits nicely in our rig.
Life is good!
